Cannot sync the ipad with iTunes

I synced the new iPad with iTunes and every photo I had on the Mac (I didn't know that I wouldn't be ask first) went to the iPad. Now I cannot sync the iPad to delete the photos because there is not enough memory to properly sync with iTunes. Can anyone help me correct this?

This is not selected by itself - this is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, which must be manually selected or is selected automatically when transferring the backup from another iOS device to the iPad if this is selected under the Photos tab for the other iOS device.
Have you tried deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

TS3274 why i cannot sync the iPad with iTunes

Can somebody help? why i cannot sync the ipad with the itunes right after i have synced my iphone sucessfully.
they are both with the latest vesions. the dialogue box keeps on "dong..dong...dong" all the time and is saying "itunes could not connect to this iphone. This iphone is no longer connected".

I have no clue what "dong, dong, dong" means unless you actually referring to sounds cpming from the computer.
Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT1689 i have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delete i have connected to my laptop where the album has been deleted but when i sync the ipad with the itunes library the unwanted album is still there and i am unable to delete it. any suggestions

I have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delege i have connected the ipad to my laptop where the album has been deleted from the music library but when i sync the ipad to the music i want the unwanted album still appears on the ipad any advice welcome thanks

Hi rosehooker,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Make sure you are following these steps to delete the music from both your iPad and computer:
On the iPad:
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
On your computer:
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Launch iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
You can find the steps above in this article:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

HT203167 I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

HT1212 What if we never synced the iPad on a computer? How can we unlock iPad if my daughter cannot remember her password?

My daughter changed her password and can't remember it. Suggestions online say to go back to the computer we synced it on. What if we never synced the iPad on a computer? Any help?

You can restore the iPad using recovery mode (most likely needed) on any computer. She will lose everything on the iPad though. Purchased content can be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with.
This will tell you how to restore

If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

Have you previously synced photos to your iPad ? If so try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
In terms of iOS5, what version of iTunes have you got on your computer ? You need iTunes 10.5 to be able to download iOS 5

I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. the computer says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. how can I just get my files onto

I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
Thank you.

iPads sync to 1 computer only.
All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

Since I upgraded my computer to Win8 I cannot Sync my Ipad

I upgraded my computer to Win8 and now cannot Sync my Ipad since it is looking for a computer name that no longer exists. How do I get to sync my iPad again? I have "authorised this computer" in iTunes but that doesn't work.

I hope these steps help.
1) Make a new user - the steps are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
2) Log into that user, open iTunes, agree, etc. - it will probably work
3) If it does, it tells us that iTunes (the program) is fine but it's encountering something unexpected
4) Go back to your user, and try to open iTunes while holding option and making a new library - like suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
5) Your iTunes will be empty. This is ok. Your files are not touched by this process.
6) If iTunes doesn't quit when loading an empty library, you could try rebuilding the iTunes Library as Apple documents in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
7) If iTunes does quit, it could be trying to grab something - like photo information to sync to your iPad - and that's where it finds the unexpected data. Maybe try moving the iPod Photo Cache? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1324 should guide you for how to do that.
If you tell us whether it is library-specific, user-specific, or system-wide (happens in both users), we could maybe give you better advice on what's going on.'
If the new user has the same behavior, maybe remove the SC Info folder - there are not many system-wide files iTunes touches. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 covers how to remove that invisible folder.
iTunes uses /Applications/iTunes.app, /Users/Shared/SC Info, ~/Music/iTunes/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ and a bunch of other files. I think the most effective way to help you is knowing whether the issue is system-wide or user-specific.
I hope this helps and feel free to reply if this is all confusing.

I forgot my ipad passcode. I tried to restore ipad using the recovery mode option. However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).

I forgot my ipad passcode. I tried:
1. Simply to restore the ipad on the computer it is normally synced with, but it askes me to enter the passcode.
2. to restore ipad using the recovery mode option. However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" cloud option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).
3. to remotely erase my ipad, but as it is locked down it does not seem to be connecting to the internet and hence cannot seen through my "find my ipad".
I am completely stuck! Any suggestions please?!?!?

Please Help to solve...

Hi Ahmed,
In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
And you should be done.
Grtz, Carl.

HT1386 iPad Air will not sync; message appears that sync server failed to sync the iPad

New iPad Air will not sync contacts and calendars to Outlook. Set up device in December, tried to sync today, Feb. 8th, after updating to iTunes 11.1.4.62; message appeared that iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPad because the sync server failed to sync the iPad. Uninstalled 11.1.4.62 and installed 11.1.3.8 and still would not sync. Synced an earlier generation iPad about 2 hrs. earlier today. What do I need to do?

I'm having a similar problem ... just used my iPad 2 to purchase the Bourne trilogy and it downloaded fine but I did not try to play it right away. Then I plugged the iPad into the computer and it downloaded the SD versions of the movie and I used iTunes to sync my movies. Then I tried to play it and it said it could not open the movie. I then did a full iPad restore and did a fresh sync and now I get the Cannot Opne pop up. Did you ever find an answer to your question?

Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013

Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013. Have done diagnostic on both with itunes as it does recognize them and they comes up clean. Where do I go from here?

The music should be on your syncing computer. Just sync the music to the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
However, the music and movie redownload is only applicable to the USA with the latest iTunes since iCloud (beta) is now available in the USA.
